Before I left for Taiwan, I brought J along for a movie review – Kung Fu Jungle because he likes action packed movies and which Chinese haven’t heard of Donnie Yen? Donnie Yen is one of the best Kung Fu movie star around!! Even my dad loves his movies.
This movie will blow you off because of Donnie Yen’s swift moves and twisted plots. At some point of the movie, I can’t tell if he is the bad guy or the good guy. You know a movie is good when you get all caught up with the suspense and thriller.
In the movie, Donnie Yen was serving his sentence in jail and in order to get the attention of the lead inspector of a case, he fought the prisoners on purpose. He was all along the role model inside so the inspector found it weird when he fought in jail.
Then… this movie isn’t solely about Kung Fu. A huge part of it goes to Love. She was the reason why he wanted to get out of jail – to protect her against a lunatic lover of Kung Fu who believed that Kung Fu is used to kill.
Wang Bao Qiang was the lunatic killer who loved his wife deeply. From the way he kills in the movie, I would even call him sadistic because he was ruthless and cold.
I shall not spoil you with too much details. This is definitely a must-watch! I would rate this movie 4 out of 5 stars!
